Special Mention Award of Taiwan Competition, 2020 Women Make Waves International Film Festival 3. Official Selection of Taiwan Competition and TIDF Visionary Award, 2022 Taiwan International Documentary Festival HIGHLIGHT ENDORSEMENT “The Lucky Woman is the most shocking film among the finalists of the TIDF Visionary Award. It delves into the perspective of 'illegal migrant workers', subtly presenting the discomfort that the closer the filmmaker/viewer is to the group being filmed, the more they must ‘observe the suffering of others’.” Tian Han, Filmaholic reviewer REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The Lucky Woman has the rating of 7.6 on IMDB. 2. Thao Van as an inspiring female role model kept helping other Vietnamese runaway workers, almost doing the work of the Social Bureau. 3. Thao Van is well-known in Taiwan’s Vietnamese migrant workers’ community, so this film is quite representative.
